Precociously intelligent (歧嶷: *j[ù]-y[í]*; the second is *y[ǔ]-j[í]*. The commentary on the *Classic of Poetry* says: "*Qi* means understanding intentions; *yi* means distinguishing and discerning." This means that when able to crawl, one already understands intentions (*qi-ran*), and one's appearance shows discernment (*yi*). It also refers to being six or seven years old. In the sūtra text it is written 奇, which is not the correct graph).
